The 6 Most Famous Cocktails

- A little while ago someone posted that they wanted a video on Root cocktails and I thought that was a fantastic idea, so here one is. This video teaches my preferred versions of the six cocktails whose creation inspired the entire universe of cocktails we have today. Every serious bartender who has been studying cocktails for a while are familiar with the idea that there are Root cocktails, or cocktails which are not only a specific drink but gave birth to a category by lending their template to countless other drinks. I will often see someone in the comments saying something like this: "Oh this drinks is just a so and so cocktail with the sugar and spirit changed out." While this statement is totally true, it's also true that every cocktail in existence came out of one of the six in this video. The bartenders behind Death & Co. and Proprietor's LLC have recently Published a book called Cocktail Codex all about Root cocktails and everyone should give it a gander, it is a great book!

Lol lol
Yeah ok ;) not sure about how hygienic handling ice is though, particularly in these times.
@@iggyblitz8739 it's completely hygienic. There something called washing your hands and it works wonders.
So did yo momma.

I like how you dont just tell us about how the cocktail is made but also how you explain the mixing techniques like you're teaching the viewer skills they could apply elsewhere - very helpful, very cool
It would have been much more hilarious if he had drank each one as he made them........
+james martin
He probably could drink all of them and then he might suffer the consequences.
If you wanna see semi-drunk bartending, Greg from How To Drink usually drinks a significant amount of alcohol on set.
@@charlesheywood8314 I think he does like 12 videos in a day so by the end of the day, he is SLOSHED.
Go to How to Drink for that. Greg has you covered in the drunk video department
if he had, the last one would have been a Blandry Frip, with 1/2oz of brandy, 3/4 oz of heavy brandy, followed by 2 ozs of brandy.
bah.....juss gimme the bottle!
According to Winston Churchill the perfect Martini is cold gin in a glass and you whisper the word vermouth over it.
haha
Or wave the bottle over it, glance in the general direction of Italy etc.
At that point, it isn't a Martini anymore. It is chilled neat gin.
apple_ juice obviously Winston Churchill didn’t know to keep his vermouth cold
I also agree he used way too much vermouth
That is the amount of vermouth you should expect in a properly made martini. From there, as someone ordering one, you can then request the level of dryness and an experienced bartender will be able to tailor it to your preferences.
Ok, I'm thirsty!!!!.
I only wish more Bartenders knew these, and understood proper proportions. We all like a stiff drink, but it has it's time and place. When entertaining clients, on a date, or business luncheon, correct ratios are what makes all the difference.
So bravo good Sir!!
Every single person. Have. OPINION……so. Yours maybe. NOT IMPORTANT @all
Bartenders. Somehow. Read people mind..after all is what really matters
He’s not one of the creepy-smiling-while-shaking bartenders 😂 which I can appreciate
Better and better, each time! Congrats Leandro and Marius!
These classics are so underrated, especially highball when made properly! Great place for beginners to start!
Aw, you guys took my suggestion! Thank you! Love the video, great camera work and informative as ever. The deep dive cocktail videos are great, and it's great that you can still be informative in this more rapid fire format. Cheers!
Great video. I'm not much of a drinker, but the history of the drinks and their construction is fascinating.
This video made my day, I'm looking for new drink ideas for my man cave and these 6 cocktails are just what I needed. Thanks.
I absolutely love flips, I do both bourbon and gin flips regularly. I'm now very much looking forward to trying brandy!
What a beautiful group photo in the end! Love your minimalist cocktail aesthetic!
Great video! I am a newbie to crafting cocktails... this motivates me to get my apparatus and shake up some classic cocktails!!
Thanks for recommending Cocktail Codex😊 An amazingly well constructed learning reference; just like your channel👏
Thank you very much. Always learning
A mixed drink with Springbank 12!? you're a madman.
Apparently I need to try a flip. I really appreciate these foundation builder episodes. Thanks guys.
can't wait to try all these amazing cocktails !
Thank you for this video. I am a newb and started my research about a year and a half ago. I fell in love with Charlie Baker, Jerry Thomas, Dale Degroff and Gary Regan and have been reading and practicing everything. I appreciated seeing you make these because, it shores up what I've been learning. You can't go somewhere new if you don't know where you've been. The history is as important to the drink as the flavor in my opinion. Again, thank you for your awesome channel and keep up the great work!!
I literally JUST had this conversation with my friend the other day, the short list of "essential" cocktails
Awesome, glad we could help :)
Great video, to the point, super educational and practical.
Been drinking Sidecars since I first discovered them in France on a random vacation a decade ago. Through my broken French and his broken English the bartender assured me I’d love it. I did. You are correct that it’s a complicated drink to master. For every 10 of them I order in the states, at least 6 of them are “incorrectly” done. And thank you for including simple syrup - a critical omission by most bartenders that I have to ask be included when ordering. Great choice on the Pierre Ferrand combo as well. Super impressed. Cheers.
The ‘classic’ recipe doesn’t include simple.. however this makes a very unbalanced drink, therefor most bartenders I know opt for using it..
i do a sugar rim to make up for no sugar
Great video! I learned a lot and can't wait to try some of your tips. I appreciate learning more about my drinks! I am definitely now a subscriber!
Thank you, sir. The quality of your videos is unbelievable. I am educated and enjoying at the same time!
I liked so much this video that I bought the book. Thanks Leandro!
Great ep, can’t wait to give these a go
thank you love the discussion of how they are put together and why, especially the brandy flip i make Ramos gin fizzes and there's a similarity. i need to dry shake first thank you
Great video Leandro and Marius. What's great about these classics is that they're very accessible.
Yeah, legit. I think thi is one of the best videos. Also, all the little tips and explanations are great, especially for any new viewers. Us vets know all these. :^)
This is a great introductory video. Maybe think about putting this one on the front page of the channel.
I've revisited this vid so many times 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Such a great video and education. Much appreciated.
true nice videos #cocktailwalktales
Great presentation!
Outstanding.
Amazing video, love it! Very educational!!
Love Flor de Cana,mucho gustoso! Awesome vid!
well made video. thank you
Really loving this simple shaken Daiquiri 🔥🔥🍹
Hey Leandro, I love these compilation videos!
I was wondering: Would you consider doing a video of different drinks that start with the same basic ingredients?
For example, when I hosted the Super Bowl this year, I made Moscow Mules (for LA) and Cape Codders (for New England). Because they both use vodka and lime juice, I could mix up a batch of those two ingredients in a cobbler shaker, and then all I needed was ginger beer and cranberry juice to make the different drinks.
Keep up the great work!
Joseph Hutnak yeah sure I could definitely do that !
Awesome, thanks!
I think with summer parties, too, it's great to have a short (and inexpensive) list of ingredients that can be used for a variety of drinks.
That’s a great idea!!
your gin martini recipe is the one i always use when i want a gin martini because i love that light pop of citrus u get from the orange bitters really plays well with the botanicals in the gin and makes it smoother in my opinion
Thanks for recommending
Great video! You sir, are a cocktail wizard!
Much appreciated. Thanks
These are some awesome tips this video really motivates me to being in the bartending 👍🏽
Another awesome video man! I was wondering if you planned on making a Hurricane video since you were planning on exploring tropical cocktails more and I’ve seen so many different recipes for it
I love this video, Tells me all the basics in one place. I learned so much from this one ☝️
Thanks :)
Awesome video as always
cocktail shake face is right up there with guitar face. i love it
Only quibble I'd argue is make mention that the sidecar is a daisy (margarita) and, like the daiquiri, is a standby archetype that lets you swap like with like for a lot of fun home experiments! Great callout on the martini's relationship with the Manhattan. Also beautiful old fashioned. I also always do the lemon + orange. had it once and never looked back.
Nice video. Thank you sir
My top all time favorites: the Old Fashioned and Side Car. I gave up on Side Cars because you are right....most bar tenders do not make them right and I get so angry! ):D
Best cocktail channel on TH-cam. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
Thanks for watching Erich
Thank you for this tutorial! Off I go to master the basics!
We believe in you!
On the farm and we get overloaded with eggs in the summer. We specifically do cocktails with egg whites to use up the eggs. Clover Clubs happen often since high egg cycle hits when the raspberries are ripe. Thanks for another great video.
Amy Kruse :
I'd be swallowing the egg yokes whole to get the nutrients that alcohol depletes.
A
@@traditionalfood367 You would be weird for doing that though
GOOD JOB I LEARN ALOT FROM YOUR CHANNEL. THANK YOU.
Really love Dolin vermouth. Very unique flavor. It’s a winner.
So excited to see Flor de Caña represent! I'm a bar owner and I live just 30 minutes from the Flor de Caña distillery!! It's the only rum we use. But might i recommend the Cristaliano over the four year blanco for serious cocktailing with clear rum.
One of your best videos in my opinion
Thanks Hendrix!
Un gros merci a toi l'ami!!!
Your channel is exactly what I was looking for!! I just subscribed.
thanks
Cocktail Codex read! :D 10/10.
Really great stuff. Would love to see a follow up on common variations of the key 6. All the same, enjoyed this, cheers. Am now quite drunk.
great video!
I really enjoyed that video…the specific subtleties of those drinks were very well explained. Such as your comments on the un-dissolved sugar in the Old Fasshioned. Many might say it would be a flaw to have the sugar still in the glass at the end of the drink. Now it’s at least imho a special variation to be enjoyed. Also the emphasis on the coldness of ingredients for the martini and the hi ball are great pointers. I really enjoy your channel and the two way between you and your cameraman !!!
Thanks so much! Really appreciate the support and glad you dug the video :)
Awesome dude
holy!! i came for drink info and learned something extremely valuable as a writer wannabe!! I thank you sir!
Love the quick format
Thanks. Hope you like our other videos too
Awesomeness thanks
Classic! That's nice...
This video is not only showing us how to do various cocktails but at the same time explaining their names, taste, look, occasion.
Well done Video!
Iv never seen orange bitters in a martini in my life but hey, worth a try
J Alves ditto. What gives ??
Waaaaay back when, orange bitters and sweet vermouth(if I recall correctly) were in the original martini recipe. I tried it and didn't care for it. I've basically settled on a few drops of Dolin's into Oxley gin. I like it with lemon instead of olives, and if I'm making them for people, I flame the peels because it looks cool and the smell is nice.
I love this new format! More ideas would be like "Top 5 Margarita Recipes" or "Top 5 Absinthe Cocktails" etc.
Matthew Boston oh just you wait Matthew Boston! Just wait and see what I have in store for you guys!
A Cask Strength Springbank?? You sure have good taste for whisky... So nice!
Nice info bro!! 🤓👍🏻
Great video as always, I need to make a few of those. :D Switch it up a little.
Old fashions should be made with turbinado sugar for the higher viscosity and molasses flavor IMO!
Interesting indeed. I'm going to try that.
Hendricks and Martini extra dry stirred with cucumber slices as well in the glass. Pure joy.
But please don't call that drink a Martini ;-)
BAR ACADEMY Munich I think they meant they use Martini brand vermouth, so it's a dry martini garnished with cucumber
Oh man, you could land a plane on that "garnish" haha 🤣 good video tho 👍🏼
Me realizing my understanding of rum is so limited that I was surprised that literally anything other than Captain and Kraken exists.
Colin Patterson Seriously? They’re only spiced rum, that’s a really small percentage of rums
@@electrichanoi7244 Interesting. Captain is a range of rums (including a spiced variant) in the UK. The original dark version has been around for decades, with the spiced being a more recent addition to this market (originally sold in the UK under the name "CJ Crocker Original American Spike" in the 90s, marketed as a bourbon-esque liqueur in the vein of Southern Comfort, when rum wasn't fashionable).
Lots of different styles. I personally find Baccardi to be terrible and Cap. Morgan's only useful mixed with coke. Flor de Caña has been my favorite brand since I discovered it. The 7 year old is a good balance between cost and quality. The 4 year old has a lot sharper alcohol taste/smell.
Great video man. Like the low.key background music
What an informative video.
(It’s be refreshing after watching a short of some guy muddling a packet of sugar into an orange slice).
Great quality, crisp and clear!
I subscribed.
Just watched that short. What a horror.
Nice choice on the Single Malt Scotch Leandro. Springbank is a gem!
One of My Favorites!
You've really upped your production and presentation! Well done.
Alexei Babanin yeah, before he looked like a long haired drunk that hasn't taken a shower in over a week with super greasy hair
I like the analogy with cooking and the canonical mother sauces.
I love the editing and style of these cocktail list videos just as much as I love the deeper dive and more teacher/student style for the individual cocktail videos. Awesome formats. Awesome drinks. Great job guys! You keep teaching and we’ll keep drinking 🤫😂
Thanks Jonel!
This is the first time ive seen an old fashioned made without a yari glass and not immediately turned up my nose. I probably wouldnt do it at work, but this is definitely ideal for kick ons
most excellent
Great video. Cocktail Codex is an amazing book. 👍
That is is :)
Just came over from Greg's channel. Thanks for your work, I appreciate it.
Steffen Laursen awesome! Thanks and hope you enjoy!!!
@@TheEducatedBarfly we really enjoy it #cocktailwalktales
Bold move going with the orange twist in the martini rather than olives. Cheers!
Love the ice blocks
Atta Boy! Springbank 12 year old cask strength ftw! I prefer it neat though! ;)
I think I am becoming an alcoholic after watching 3 days of this none stop.
Asian don’t raisin Phạm Instead of becoming an alcoholic, why not become a bartender
@@electrichanoi7244 por que no los dos
Kudos for the old-school 2:1 Martini. The vogue for ever-more homeopathic quantities of vermouth baffles me: much as I love gin, a cocktail is a balance of flavours, not a competition to see who can drink the faintest whiff of vermouth.
Plymouth Gin is a good shout - and indeed, who can argue with the specifications of the Savoy Cocktail Book - and if that's the way you're going, fair enough on the orange. A good complement to the light, citrussy air of Plymouth. But for me, Tanqueray and Noilly Prat is where the magic happens.
And I shake it, heathen though I am, as I find a stirred Martini is a tad more unctuous and oily, while the crystal-crispness of the shaken gives me a zing I've never achieved through stirring. And stuffed olives. Sorry, I know, I know, but I've tried it every which way and for me, olives knock spots off a twist of peel every single time.
All the bartenders I've met went for 6:1 ratio, many blogs and channels taught me to mix 5:1. That really seems to be a vogue now. I wanna try a 2:1 Martini next time!
i believe this trend comes from the fact that lots of bars just have terrible tasting vermouth and the majority of people don't refridgerate it. Also bars probably have it go bad. So You most likley will have just an awful tasting cocktail. I usually always order it dry unless im in a nice bar for that reason
@@songanon
Exactly, Vermouth sadly its like Campari, you mostly use it for a Negroni because that’s what people order the most. The most sold vermouths are the Martini brand which are not just bad but incredibly hard to drink. I’ve seen some bars use almost an ounce of simple and only 2/4 or less of Martini Rosso for their Negronis, basically hoping the good quality Gin and the Campari will hide the bad red vermouth sometimes even replacing the Campari with Aperol so its even sweeter.
@@ericktellez7632 o god every bar has martini vermouth it’s so bad lol
I like vermouth. I was a literal wino before i got into cocktails. I like the vermouth taste to come out in my martini. 2:1 is my go too. Ill use sweet vermouth though.
My most iconic list would be: Old Fashioned, Martini, Margarita, Moscow Mule, Bloody Mary
yup moscow mule is anytime fav #cocktailwalktales
@@cocktailwalktales3174 a Kentucky Mule is also very good
@@richardpayne9249 yup definitely it would be a good cocktail but i think we don't get bourbon here otherwise I would make a video dedicated to you. All ingredients are same as moscow mule just replace vodka with Bourbon:)
#cocktailwalktales
& that is why you do not have a TH-cam channel, stupid.
Moscow Mule is a Highball...
Thats an insane base. Springbank is awesome.
Great and simple instructions....I am inspired...Mind you a martini needs an olive !
Great video leandro! Currently reading the cocktail codex. It's a great book!
magna carta of cocktails
The brandy flip looks bomb
